LOS ANGELES – The new Sienna minivan is revealed with cues from the Venza and a more agressive front end. The look
of the front end is somewhat awkward, but does look more appealing to us then the Venza. What's new for the 2011 is
a sporty SE trim and the return of 4cylinder powered models. The last time Toyota had a 4cylinder powered minivan
was the Previa. Unlike the Previa however, the Sienna's 4 cylinder engine has enough power. The engine produces 187
horsepower at 5,800 rpm. This is even more powerful then Previa models with a supercharge that produced only 161
horsepower. The interior of the new third generation Sienna isn't as sporty as its exterior. Our biggest qualm is
with the dash. Minivans don't exactly have the best looking dash these days, but the Sienna's dash seems to have
cues from its Tacoma truck.
